How’d you hurt the ankle this time?: Tonight I think I landed — I haven’t seen the footage — but I think I landed on Kyle Korver’s ankle or his foot and it rolled over. That’s more comforting to me that it wasn’t one of those planting and moving kind of injuries … but it’s still frustrating that this keeps coming up. I had this all last year so for me it’s just trying to figure out why it keeps doing that and try to get it stronger.

Jackson said you were available to return to the game: I was walking up and down the hall, keeping it loose, and the pain numbed out a little bit. I tied my shoelaces in case I needed to shoot free throws or something down the stretch, but my teammates pulled it out. A total-team-effort win tonight so I wanted to go out there and see it.

Any second thoughts about having played Sunday against the Clippers?: Nah. Last night, I was a little rusty from missing practice. Tonight, I thought I played well, was able to be aggressive, and I’m not really worry about it. It was just a freak thing, landed on Kyle Korver’s ankle. I can’t really account for that going into it. It’s just something that happened. It’s frustrating for me, but we’ll have a couple days off before New York and hopefully we’ll be able to get it back.

How’d you hold Derrick Rose to 13 points on 4-of-17 shooting?: For us it’s not really singling out D-Rose. We had an opportunity to show what we’ve been working on in training camp defensively as a team, getting on the same page. We didn’t do that in the fourth quarter last night, so we had an opportunity to come back out tonight on a short rest and turn that around. It just happened that D-Rose was here and we figured it out tonight. Our bigs really showed on ball screens and kind of kept him contained and we took it over from there. Everybody was just on a string and on the same page.
